Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

... any precise rendition of the basic concepts of learning just introduced. Thus a paradigm provides definitions corresponding to 1 through 4 and advances a specific criterion of successful learning.

CONT

Since the learning paradigm enabled by ITSs [Intelligent Tutoring Systems] stresses activity-based learning, it is very unlikely that the computer-based tutor will be able to handle all situations that will arise.
